Viking lake is a good place for RV camping. You get a nice space with a picnic table, fire pit, and RV charging area. The lake is also beautiful and there’s plenty of well-groomed hiking trails around the lake. The bathroom/shower faculties are a little worn and could use an update, but I guess that’s to be expected at a rustic camp site. The experience was enjoyable overall I would recommend camping here.

The park was full but not overcrowded. Made people watching as fun as nature watching. I have been to this park since before I could walk. It's improved a little bit every year. It's great to go for quiet time when not busy.

Always accessible, mostly quiet. Fishing, boating, walking trails, picnic. Venue rental next to swimming beach. Large camping area-modern to tent. You might even get to play Bingo, watch a movie, or use the loading ramp for your kayak. Google wanted an update....there's water in the lake now. Playground in camping area. Modern to nicer pit restrooms in all area except top picnic area. Dogs can walk trails with you. Lots of picnic space. Two sheltered areas for rent but when not rented still can be used in picnic area. The modern one has indoor kitchen space that does need to be rented. Both have outdoor grills and picnic tables. The modern one has wheelchair accessible tables and modern restrooms.

I love this place but the only reason I give a 3 star is due to me very scares of water. But we had so much fun hanging out on there birthday weekend. It's cheap peaceful and if u get the right spot you see the sky so amazing at night. Everyone has been friendly around the camp site.

Stayed 11/13/2024 to 11/16/2024. Off season rate of $20 per night. I was the only one there for the first night. Saw lots of deer and fox squirrels. Walked on some of the hiking trail but they could use some signs at intersections otherwise you could get lost. Since it was off season the shower buildings were closed but there isno vault toilet in the campground, nearest one was at the far end of the picnic area. Sites were small and right on top of each other.
